I also got the lowest for leadership and highest for critical thinking. Hope we still get to the AC stage!I scored highest for critical thinking and respect, and lowest on leadership preference. 78% percentile on the WG test. Fingers crossed now!

Linklaters 2019/20 Application

Hi guys,
Just finished my Linklaters WG. It was interesting. The examples given were ones often found on the internet. However, the actual questions did not resemble any of my practice tests (I've done all the ones I could find that are free). Anyways, immediately after that, I got the notification that my application is under review. My CAPP assessment went well. I think it represented the values I endorse most: respect and motivation were my highest. Meanwhile, resource and work management was my weakest. Oh well! Let's see how things go!
If anybody received any progress on their direct TC app to Linklaters, would you be so kind as to share with all of us how the procedure went for you?
Thanks

What percentile was this? They weigh it based on percentile - I've heard someone got 38/40 but 60th Percentile!
Also, from what people have been posting, it looks like they base it more on the CAPP score than the WG! So don't worry too much about your WG score!
I think I saw someone get the 70th percentile and was still rejected so I don’t think the WG holds much emphasis.
Crikey I am just reading through this as I had completely forgotten I had applied for Links. It really stands out to me that the WG isn't that big of a deal - a firm told me firms usually use it to determine if you will do well in your LPC (so you're not gonna fail it and have to retake, which is expensive). As long as you don't fail it catastrophically, don't pull your hair out because someone got 36 and you only got 35.
I never ask for my WG result unless I have been progressed (like with CC) cause otherwise, it'll stress me out before I know my outcome. I suggest perhaps waiting and not speculating over the fine numbers - its not good for your health and you are doing so well!

If what is worth, mine is 'on hold' as well. I assume it means they are just reviewing them
Not sure! Applied for a straight TC as well and got the same message...however, nothing new so far!
This is brilliant advice - and pass marks can never be known either and some firms (like Freshfields) take into account the strength of the application with the WG mark so if you didn't do so well in it but have a strong app it is not the end of the road!
Don't be so harsh on yourself haha. Are you satisfied with your CAPP results? I think it's generally what they look at.
Ended up with Motivation and Respect as my two strengths. To be honest, I'm not sure of the extent they focus on the CAPP assessment, but assuming that they look at it, I'm sure they will be really happy with both our results

Ahhh I got resilience and excellence (and the Resource and Work management as my worst loool)
llooooolll resource and work management was my worst tooo xD
Yup. Hey, seeing how Clifford Chance's complicated procedure is going right now, Linklaters app feels like heaven ngl
I don't really get how that can be a weakness considering most of us are juggling degrees, applications, extra curricular and, in my case, a part-time job ahahhah
Still on hold as well. I don't think they will be sending out AC invites until January, but that's just my feeling. Good luck everyone!
